Motion: Requested international summons of Bosch for testimony

On October 11, 2023, attorney Carlos De Icaza Muñoz filed a formal request before the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office for the summoning of Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez, who resides in Guatemala. Acting on behalf of Lisa, S.A., De Icaza requested judicial assistance to carry out an international citation so that Bosch may appear for clarifying testimony in the ongoing criminal investigation for embezzlement of judicially retained dividends.

The motion emphasizes that Bosch’s appearance is essential for the truth-seeking mission of the Public Prosecutor’s Office. It highlights the need for cross-border cooperation to ensure accountability in Bosch’s role as judicial depositary, which he allegedly abused. The request cites procedural and constitutional provisions to support the call for international legal assistance and direct engagement with the accused.
